My 2003 Tacoma V6 has been great until just a couple of days ago. After I filled up at Chevron, it started this thing where when it is started, it will act like it's not going to start and then suddenly the revs bounce up and everything is fine. Other times, it will crank and crank before it starts. After that, it runs perfectly. Are these the symptoms of bad gas?

The only other thing I've done recently is I swapped the fan clutch for the heavier duty one from Toyota, but I don't know of anything that could've messed anything up.

ANy help would be greatly appreciated.

try cleaning the throttle body.

i got some crap into the intake and idleing bad, so i cleaned it out, and all is fine now.

bad gas could be the problem... ehehe bad gas...

My 2003 does the exact same thing. I wonder if I need to get in there and clean out the throttle body.
